Big ears are a good way of getting down quicker, while maintaining a forward speed. You can apply the normal, manufacturer's ears, or pull Big big ears. Always do ears first, then speedbar. If you do Big Big Ears, do them one side, then the other. Otherwise you risk having a symmetric tuck. The same applies when you release them, pump them out one side, then the other.
